Block Wall Systems to Meet BCA Deemed- To-Satisfy Energy Efficiency Provisions

BCA 2010

2 adbri masonry

The energy efficiency wall systems shown in this brochure only cover Adbri Masonry walls utilising added insulating products to achieve the requirements of the 2010 Building Code of Australia (BCA) Volumes 1 and 2. It should be noted the BCA details many other alternative Deemed-To-Satisfy options to achieve the required energy efficiency including walls with a surface density of not less than 220kg/m2. Note many Adbri Masonry products achieve a 220kg/m2 surface density. Please contact your Adbri Masonry representative for details.

Adbri Masonry acknowledges the Concrete Masonry Association of Australia’s (CMAA) ‘Design of Concrete Masonry Building’s Manual’ in the development of some of the wall systems.

Adbri Masonry also acknowledges CSR Gyprock®, CSR Bradford® and Rmax for providing technical information on their respective products.

As of May 2010, the BCA has amended legislation regarding energy efficiency of new buildings in Australia. This brochure is intended as a guide for the design of walls to achieve BCA Deemed-to-satisfy compliance in energy efficiency using Adbri Masonry products.

The wall systems in this brochure are specific to Adbri Masonry products and do not apply to products of other manufacturers

All wall systems are based on the Deemed-To-Satisfy (DTS) provisions of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) Volume 1 Part J and Volume 2 Part 3.12. These walls are considered to be acceptable forms of construction.

The DTS walls consider the individual thermal resistances of the wall components, which in total must meet the BCA requirement.

The BCA requirements for external walls are summarised in Table 1. Reference should be made to the BCA 2010 for detailed information about different options available to achieve required energy efficiency for each climate zone and concessions including walls with surface density of not less than 220kg/m2.

To determine the relevant climate zone, use the map provided in Appendix 1.

Notes Volume One

1. A sole occupancy unit of a Class 2 building or a Class 4 part of a building must achieve 6 star minimum rating.

2. For Class 2 buildings in Queensland BCA 2009 Volume One still applies.

3. For all Building Classes in Tasmania BCA 2009 Volume One still applies.

4. For Class 2 and Class 4 Buildings in New South Wales subject to BASIX energy provisions of BCA 2009 as varied by the New South Wales appendix in the BCA apply.

These wall systems are generally used in external wall applications in residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, domestic and high-rise domestic construction or in the renovation of older buildings. Walls systems incorporate single leaf concrete masonry, and where required CSR Bradford® insulation products and CSR Gyprock® Products, or Rmax ExinTEX® polystyrene products.

3.0 General design/construction considerations

2.1 Step 1: Establish requirements

2.1.1 Determine applicable climate zone from the BCA climate zone map detailed in Appendix 1.

2.1.2 Using table 1 and the relevant climate zone, select the minimum total R-value required for the relevant climate zone and building class. Note: Walls detailed in this brochure only meet BCA Option (a) for each climate zone. Refer to the BCA for other option details including the 220kg/m2 surface density and slab on ground options.

2.2 Step 2: Selecting your Adbri Masonry wall system

2.2.1 Using the required minimum total R-value from the relevant climate zone from table 1, select a suitable Adbri Masonry wall system from table 2. This table categorises the requirements of the BCA and details Adbri Masonry wall systems which meet these requirements. Note: There are several Adbri Masonry wall systems available to meet each individual BCA minimum total R-value requirement, listed as wall type T1, T2, T3 or T4. More than one wall system can be selected to allow for direct comparison between wall systems. Choose a system that is most appropriate to your application.

2.2.2 The following information is shown in Table 2 for each wall type

- Typical layout of the wall system - BCA Requirement being met - Building class - Applicable climate zones - Adbri Masonry Block type/series - Basic wall details - Overall wall thickness - Further information (if applicable)

NOTE: For all wall types i.e. T1, T2, T3, and T4, further information is required to determine the actual wall specifications. These systems include various CSR Bradford® insulation products, CSR Gyprock® products and Rmax exinTEX® polystyrene products as detailed in Step 2.2.3.

2.2.3 For wall types T1 or T2, Table 3 must be used. For wall types T3 or T4, Table 4 must be used.

These tables give the following details of the wall system specifications.

- Building class - Applicable climate zone - External wall lining - Block series - Sarking - Insulation and frame - Internal wall lining - Total R-value of wall - Minimum wall thickness - Additional wall thickness (for thicker block series)

• Gyprock® may be directly applied to the masonry substrate, screw fixed to metal furring channels that are fixed to the masonry, or alternatively fixed to a separate stud frame.

• Refer to manufacturer for all related loading bearing and non-load bearing stud design information.

• Rmax ExinTEX® polystyrene can be fixed direct to the external masonry face.

• All block wall elements are to be designed in accordance with AS3700 Masonry Structures.

• Some walling systems incorporate an insulated cavity to provide improved thermal performance. The provision of a cavity also allows the inclusion of services such as water pipes.

• No allowance is made for thermal bridging of cavity ties or furring channels.

• For fire and sound properties refer to the Adbri Masonry Fire and Sound Insulation of Concrete Besser block masonry brochure.
